lady gaga, america's president
last week, i was playing a random trivia quiz game with my 6th grade students. my coteacher just wanted me to plan 40 minutes worth of games, not based on what they had been learning from the text book.
the object of the game was simple: i had about 100 cards with random things, food, people, and places written on them. i would pull a card of of a box, and describe it through words and/or actions and students would guess to earn points for their team.
at random, i pulled a card from the box. it said "obama" on it.
me: america's president.
students: lady gaga!
me: no...the president of america.
students: lady gaga!!
me: no...not a singer. president...leader...
students: beyonce!
me: NOOOO! like lee myeong-bak [south korea's president], except in america.
students:lady gaga!
me: NOT LADY GAGA! president~!!
students: ..................
at first, i thought they were just trying to be funny. but i asked my coteacher about it after class, and she said that those students told her that they actually believed that lady gaga was the president of america...and they had no idea who obama was.
i should probably add that the rest of my 6th grade classes had no problem differentiating between obama and lady gaga.

dancing queen
this week in fourth grade, we were learning about "she/he is a _[job]___."
today, we played a hidden picture game, where i showed the kids a picture of various jobs, covered with squares so they couldn't see what it was. i removed one square at a time, revealing a part of the picture, and as soon as they knew the answer, they could make a guess.
they were only supposed to say the key sentence as their answer.
one picture had been almost entirely revealed. a boy got super excited, and his hand shot up in the air. so, i called on him to answer.
his answer: "he is a dancing queen."
it was a picture of a doctor.
